Lea B.
Hello! My name is Lea, Split is my hometown and I'm a licensed tour guide for Split-Dalmatia, Dubrovnik-Neretva and Šibenik-Knin county, both in English and Spanish language. I was born in Split, I have been living here for more than 20 years and I'm passionate about sharing its beauty and culture!
I got my Master's degree in Marketing, at Faculty of Economics here in Split. Following my university studies, I moved to Barcelona to do an internship before returning back to Split. I have always enjoyed learning languages, travelling and experiencing different cultures. Soon after graduation I have realised that office job doesn't suit me and I started to work as a tour guide, which was the best decision I have ever made!
When I'm not tour guiding, I love to learn languages - I can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Yoga is also one of my passions, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) by International Yoga Alliance.
Local gastronomy has always interested me, so I decided to do a course for a wine consultant to get to know more about the rich wine history in Croatia.
In my free time, I love long walks with my dog and reading books.
I absolutely love my job and cannot wait to share with you all the beauties that the city of Split and the region of Dalmatia have to offer! If you were looking for a private guide to experience the region like a true local - you are right where you should be!

Japan has so many charms, must-see spots & must-eat dishes.
Let’s enjoy those with me as you’ve got a local friend. Feel free to contact me to plan your own trip
Golden age guests, family with kids are highly welcomed!
Big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto is wonderful as you know, but the local places like my location is also nice. Reasonable prices, easy to book hotels, not so crowded, etc.
When you travel between Tokyo and Kyoto, why don’t you stop by at Nagoya?

Hello! My name is Takeshi.
I am a National Licensed Guide Interpreter in English.
I was born in Tokyo. I worked for Canon for more than 30 years including a 5-year assignment to the U.S. office. Before joining Canon, I received a master's degree in engineering in the United States.
After retiring from the company, I began working as a volunteer guide for foreign visitors in Kamakura and Yokohama for a while.
However, I became fascinated by the beautiful nature of Nagano prefecture and decided to move here to the Yatsugatake Mountains, 1000m above sea level in Nagano a few years ago.
Since then I go out to look at the breathtaking mountains, lakes, and shrines every day. I would like to guide you to these special sites and also share with you the Japanese culture in my guided tours.
I am flexible and can customize the tour based on the customer's request.
I am also a Certified Travel Service Administrator. My hobby is Aikido and I hold the 2nd Dan black belt.
Hope to see you soon.

Alex O.
Hi there! I’m Alex Before ending up in Japan, many years back, I had a nomad life across several Asian countries for many years as well. I spent most of that time in India, where among other activities I had my first experiences as a tour guide. There I also met my wife, and when the relationship got more serious we decided to settle down and have a more stable life, we chose Japan where she is from. Since then I had many personal experiences in this country in different fields such as human relations, jobs in different sectors, trips, bizarre situations, etc, experiences that I always like to share, together with some knowledge about aspects of the culture that I studied for years, just for the sake of getting knowledge without thinking that I would do this activity later on. By the way, I appreciate a lot the human factor, and besides having a responsibility I enjoy a lot just meeting and being with new people. In other words; I love this job, I love the culture I show, and I love human communication in itself. Let’s meet and spend time together so I can show you the best of this city, the cultural capital of Japan.

Do you love traveling and doing outdoor activities? or You just want to chill and explore the busy yet fun places in Central Tokyo. Name what you want and I will help you out to make that idea come true. I cater mountain hiking activities and personalized city tours fitted just for your needs. Japan has many things to offer depending on what you want to do. Nature and outdoor activities, food exploration, cultural immersion, nightlife fun, technology and innovation, and many more. With my stay here in Japan. I've been into the exploration of the Japanese Alps. I've been to Mt. Fuji, Mt. Tsukuba, Mt. Jinba, Mt. Takao, Mt. Nokogiriyama, Mt. Otake, Mt. Mitake, Mt. Kagenobu and Mt. Shiroyama. On the other hand, the busy central Tokyo gives you fun and excitement specifically the places of Shinjuku and Shibuya if you want nightlife fun. If you want to travel to the countryside I can make an itinerary and cater car tours because I have a Japanese Drivers License. With all these glimpses of me and what I can passionately offer, I am looking forward to talking with you soon and being part of your journey and memorable experience as you explore Japan.

I studied in Switzerland from 2021 to 2022, during which time I visited many European art museums, so I understand what people look for in sightseeing.

I possess a sake sommelier certification.
I hold a wine certification.
Just one favor: please don't post about our adventures on social media.
Many of the places I take you to are not equipped to accommodate foreign visitors due to language barriers.
We want to keep these special places peaceful, so your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Masayuki I.
My name is Masayuki currently living in Kyoto. Everyone casually calls me Massy. I grew up in a bilingual ( English / Japanese ) background. I am a new entry in here, but I am already very well experienced in hosting and guiding. I like to explore things to discover all the hidden beauties and treasures off the beaten path and share with others. I would only show you to the places you really need a guide with no information in English. If you are interested in things truly unique known only to some locals, I am the one. I like to explore in nature and show my footsteps to everyone to discover new hidden ground. It is almost my natural instinct to avoid crowd. I am not into ordinary tourism of Kyoto because I don't want to be another one of them doing the same guide in Kyoto. I want to show you to a true state of sacred and beauty which is unharmed by commercialization and over-tourism. My itinerary cuts off overrated attractions from the view point of a local. In Kyoto I mostly write about places never been introduced in English. I am not a licensed tour guide interpreter, but I have different field of knowledge to introduce things. I am more of an English-hosting guide without strict business manner. I am a professional in writing introduction pages mainly for north parts of Kyoto in English. The courses are my own creation since I am the original one to write in English. I am a very open and friendly person who can communicate in English nearly as good as a native speaker. I was in Canada and U.S. I once took a leading role of an international community as well as being an English teacher. My wife is from Ukraine often assisting me to host my guests.
